Balletshofer
About the Collection
This season, Designer Alan Balletshofer aims to create a moment of calm within a chaotic world through his Collection 007. This aspiration is reflected in the designs through clean lines, timeless cuts, and special materials. These are garments meant to serve as companions in the rituals of everyday life. Balletshofer continues to focus on his main discipline – the fusion of sportswear and tailoring – and introduces the technique of trompe-l'oeil this season. The focus is on slim silhouettes, straight and sharp cuts, and streamlined, slim shapes. Fabrics traditionally used in sportswear are reimagined and contrasted with elements of classic tailoring. For his designs, Balletshofer experimented with materials such as wool, tweed, and various stretch fabrics. Muted colors dominate the palette to highlight the shapes and silhouettes. Key pieces in the collection include the varsity jacket with patches and a double-breasted suit made of coated wool, combining functionality and classic elegance.

Why did you start your label/business?
I started my brand to create fashion that goes beyond trends and fleeting moments. In a world where the industry often divides between content creators and designers, I wanted to focus on crafting clothing that’s more than just visual content – it’s an investment in quality and in how we engage with the world around us. My goal is to design pieces that last, without losing their excitement or relevance, and to offer a deeper connection between what we wear and the experiences we live through
